Addition Mutation

• A mutation where a nitrogen base or codon is accidently added to a gene sequence

• A mutation that causes a gene to duplicate itself

• A mutation that changes one nitrogen base to another

Nitrogen Bases

• A-T

• C-G

• G-T

• A-C

Transcription

• Step 1 of Protein Synthesis: DNA to mRNA

• Step 3 of Protein Synthesis: Protein Folding

• Step 4 of Protein Synthesis: DNA Replication

Substitution Mutation

• A mutation where one nitrogen base or codon is substituted out for another due to errors in replication.

• A mutation that involves the deletion of one or more nitrogen bases from the DNA sequence.

• A mutation that results in the addition of extra nitrogen bases to the DNA sequence.

• A mutation that causes a complete change in the amino acid sequence of a protein.

Nucleotide

• A type of protein made of amino acids.

• The building block of nucleic acids made of sugar, phosphate and a nitrogen base.

• A carbohydrate that provides energy to cells.

• A lipid that stores energy in the body.

Translation

• Step 1 of Protein Synthesis: DNA to mRNA

Deletion Mutation

• A mutation where a nitrogen base or codon is accidently deleted from a gene sequence.

• A mutation that results in the addition of one or more nitrogen bases to a gene sequence.

• A mutation that changes one nitrogen base to another without deleting any bases.

• A mutation that causes the entire gene sequence to be reversed.

Codon Chart

• A chart used to determine the sequence of DNA nucleotides.

• A chart used by plugging in mRNA codons (groups of 3 nucleotides) to get the amino acid it codes for.

• A chart that lists all possible amino acids in a protein.

• A chart used to visualize the structure of proteins.

Polypeptide Chain

• A type of carbohydrate molecule

• A chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds

• A lipid structure found in cell membranes
